Two Latvian Men Arrested at UK RAF Molesworth Airbase in Security Investigation
Two Latvian men, aged 32 and 36, were arrested inside RAF Molesworth, a UK airbase used by US and NATO intelligence, after police found an abandoned vehicle and a breach in the perimeter fence. Initially charged with trespassing and criminal damage, they were re-arrested under the National Security Act 2023 for entering a prohibited place with intent prejudicial to the UK. Authorities are investigating the incident, which is not currently linked to a recent suspected terror plot at RAF Fairford involving Iran-related threats.
